XElement write numeric character reference

Question

I'm trying to write a strings.xml file for our android app via a resource provider from our translation tool.

So the procedure is like this: -Start translation tool and import strings.xml -Do the translations -Use the custom resource provider to export strings.xml -Import strings.xml to android project

The strings.xml file has the following structure: Send data. Please wait…

As you can see, the char … (Ellipsis) is written as &#8230 (NCR). Android needs it to be like this.

Now to my problem, the translation tool saves the Ellipsis as char … and not as &#8230. I then customized the resource adapter to Replace("…","&#8230")

But now my XML File looks like this: Send data. Please wait…

So it's replacing the char & with &

Is there a possibility to make an XElement with &#8230 as value?
